"Well hey girl, what's a girl like you doing in a place like this?
With lipstick on the edge of your cocktail glass, you took a sip and it was gone so fast.
It looks to me like you might need another one, a double one, yeah me too.
You're too pretty to look so blue, I hope you don't mind me asking you girl.."
What Are You Drinkin About- Florida Georgia Line
I am unbetaed so please excuse my errors!
(Marissa's POV)
Steve's one week of training turned out to be three weeks. At work things seems so much different without him there to boss everyone around. Danny took his position well of being the boss and even acts like the caveman I call my husband when it comes to going out in the field. Today was Saturday and the team had off. Danny was picking up Grace to bring her over to swim and Chin and his wife Mila were coming over along with Kono.
Waiting for Steve to get back from training I have had this feeling like I am being watched. I am also starting to notice little things going missing around the house. I am sure they are just misplaced but I have this feeling that I may not be wrong.
Danny and Grace arrived after giving me a hug Grace left to join Ty playing in the living.
"Everything alright?" Danny asked with his Jersey drawl
"Yeah why?" I asked.
"You look like you have seen a ghost" Danny replied.
"I am fine. I just want Steve back home. The kids miss him and so do I." I replied taking a peek on the three children in the living room.
"You are just like your husband. Can't let anyone help you and you always have to be right. I can see something is bothering you. You can either tell me now or I can tell your husband something is wrong." Danny answered.
"Are you trying to black mail me detective?" I asked.
"It's not black mail its simply notifying your husband there seems to be something going on." Danny shot back.
"Alright fine but I don't want you to tell Steve. I think it's just my hormones messing with my head. I feel like I am being watched." I replied.
"Marissa you have to tell Steve. It could be Wo Fat." Danny answered pulling a beer from the fridge and standing across from me.
"I don't think it is. I just think it's my mind playing games with me. I noticed stuff- never mind." I said.
"You noticed stuff what?" Danny asked.
"Missing. My wedding album is not in its usual spot but maybe Steve put it away somewhere else. I just feel like I am losing my mind and Steve being gone for the last three weeks isn't putting me at ease." I replied.
"You have to talk to Steve, Marissa. This could be serious." Danny said.
"I just don't want him to worry. He has enough on his plate right now with Joe and the new baby." I said.
"Listen I don't like keeping things from my partner but if you don't notice anything else I will keep my mouth shut. But if you do I want you to tell him right away. He wants to keep you and your kids safe." Danny replied resting his hand on my shoulder and giving it a squeeze.
I nodded my head in approval. Before another conversation could be started we heard Ty and Lilly scream dad as the front door opened.
Danny and I walked into the living room to find Steve in his reserves uniform holding Lily and smothering her face in kisses as she giggled in delight. Ty and Grace had their arms wrapped around his waist.
"Did you guys miss me?" Steve asked the kids.
A chorus of yeahs left their mouths as he smiled down affectionately at his kids and niece.
"Well look what the cat dragged in. Glad you are back buddy." Danny stated moving in to give him a bro hug.
"Nice to know you come over and drink my beer." Steve replied with a smirk knowing it would cause an argument for his partner.
"Marissa didn't tell you. We are kicking you out and I am moving in." Danny joked.
"Sorry buddy but you have to find your own wife." Steve replied setting Lily down on the floor and moving in front of me.
"I do believe I am owed a kiss sailor." I breathed out as his face inched closer to mine.
He smirked before leaning down and capturing my lips with his and kissed me soundly.
Danny cleared his throat clearly uncomfortable with how Steve was kissing me in front of the kids.
Dinner was a blast Mila shared stories about Chin when they were dating and Kono shared stories about growing up with Chin. The night was complete without Steve and Danny necking every chance they got about everything.
After everyone left Steve went to tuck the kids in bed leaving me to start cleaning up.
(Steve's POV)
Ty was tucked into my right side as Lily was tucked in my left as we lay on Ty's bed to read. It didn't take long before both kids were out cold I had barely made it through the first three pages of Bud, Not Buddy.
Marissa told me Ty had started the book but wanted to read it with me. I gently slide out of the bed and put Lily in her crib and kissed her little rosy cheeks before going to tuck Ty in. Ty was sprawled in his bed when I came back. Turning on his night light and kissing his forehead I headed down stairs.
Marissa had the radio in the kitchen playing softly when I came down. Her hair was piled up in a messy bun and she was singing along to the song that was playing as she washed the dishes. I snuck up behind her and wrapped my arms around her growing belly felling the small kicks are son was making.
"Does he move a lot?" I whispered in her ear.
"He has been keeping me up the last couple of nights." She sighed.
"Everything alright while I was gone?" I asked.
"It was fine we just really missed you." She replied shutting off the water and turning around to face me.
"I missed you too." I whispered capturing her lips with mine.
It wasn't long before I had Marissa upstairs and in our bed. I took my time making love to my wife. After a few rounds of love making Marissa and I laid in bed until we both passed out.
In the middle of the night I was woken up by Ty. Lily was crying in her room causing Marissa to stir.
"Hey what is it?" Marissa asked when she realized Ty was standing in front of our bed.
"Daddy I think someone was in the house" he whispered.
"Steve" Marissa exclaimed quickly jumping out of bed.
"Take the kids into Lily's room and don't come out until I tell you." I whispered.
Marissa quickly escorted Ty to Lilly's room. I quickly got my gun out of the lock box and made my down the hall. After checking Tyler's room I went downstairs. Everything was in the exact same order it was in before Marissa and I went upstairs. After checking the locks and the security system one last time I headed up stairs.
I knocked on Lily's door to let Marissa know everything was alright.
Tyler and Lily both sat in their mother's arms when I walked in.
"Everything is fine. Nothing was opened when I checked. Maybe you just had a bad dream buddy" I said.
"You checked all the doors and the security alarm?" Marissa asked gently moving the kids to stand up.
"I checked everything babe. Everything is fine." I repeated.
"I sorry daddy. I thought I heard someone walking around." Ty mumbled his bottom lip trembling like he was in trouble.
"Hey it's alright buddy. You probably had a bad dream and thought it was real." I told him as I brought him into my arms.
"You and your sister can sleep with us baby." Marissa said picking lily up and heading towards our room.
The next morning the governor called and said he had a case for me and the team. Marissa was staying at home with the kids along with Grace.
As we drove to the crime scene I couldn't help but yawn a few times.
"Did get any sleep?" Danny asked.
"Ty woke up from having a really bad dream and thought he heard someone walking around the house. It freaked Marissa out so we had both kids in our bed last night." I stated.
"It wouldn't be the first time someone has broken into your house with you in it." Danny replied.
"Yeah well there was no break in. Everything was shut and the alarm was on." I shot back.
"Hey no need to get cranky with me I was just simply stating a fact." Danny rambled.
"Yeah well Ty's nightmare had Marissa on edge all night. She would sprint out of bed any time she would hear a creek." I stated.
"Did you notice anything weird at all?" Danny asked.
"No like I said everything was fine. My first thoughts were it was Wo Fat's men." I said.
"Hey I have your back and so does Chin and Kono." Danny answered.
"Thanks man" I said before I parked the Camaro in front of the crime scene.
"Hey kono what do we got?" I asked.
"Woman about 25 years old shot in the chest three times." Kono ran through leading us towards the body.
The victim was lying on the ground behind the night club. She was pretty with light blonde hair.
"Hey Chin what do you have?" I asked after glancing once more at the victim.
"Victim is Skye Willards 25 years old. Her friends said they were clubbing when Skye met a guy and took off with him. The club owner came out here to dump some trash this morning and found her." Chin stated.
"She is young and obviously beautiful. Did the girls give you description on the guy she left with?" Danny asked.
"Said he was in his thirties and dark hair and was tall. Did really give too much information. All I got was that he was hot." Chin chuckled.
"Hey almost sounds like you Brah." Chin joked.
I laughed. I was about to say a comeback when a frantic yelling turned our attention to a man in his 60's asking HPD where his daughter was.
"Sir may I help you" I asked watching as the HPD officers struggled to keep the man out of the barrier.
"I am looking for my daughter. She didn't come home last night. I am Timothy Willards." He said as he stopped struggling against the officers.
"I am Commander McGarrett of Five-0" i said sticking my hand out to the older man.
"I just want to find my daughter. She didn't come home last night." Tim said shaking my hand.
"Sir, it might be better if we went down to HPD and talked." I replied.
"That's her behind that crime tape isn't it? That's my little girl." He began before his breathing became ragged.
"Sir, you need to calm down. Get me a bus now" I demanded.
After paramedics arrived Mr. Willards was rushed to Honolulu General.
"That is our victim's father?" Danny asked as the ambulance pulled away.
"Yeah. Have Chin and Kono take the girls in for more questioning. And let's go check on Willards." I said turning to look at my partner.
"Yeah I will give them the heads up." Danny replied.
During the car ride I could tell Danny wanted to say something.
"Alright what is it? What is eating you away." I asked.
"I was just going to say I could have gone down to HPD and question the girls instead." Danny stated.
"Yeah because you have such a way with words. Just remember I was there when you tried to flirt with Gabby." I smirked.
"Hey I can be quite charming. Just ask Gabby." Danny defended.
"Alright whatever you say buddy" I replied not being able to contain my smirk.
At Honolulu General, Willards was admitted and was sitting in his hospital room when we showed up.
"Mr. Willards I am detective Danny Williams and you met my partner. We wanted to talk to you about your daughter." Danny started.
"Tell me what happened to my little girl." Tim demanded with tears brimming his eyes.
"Your daughter was found outside of the club she attended last night." I said.
"My baby she has been working so hard. She goes to school full time and is always taking care of me. She wanted to night off to go have fun." Tim Willards replied.
"Do you know if she was seeing anybody?" Danny asked.
"Not that I am aware of. She tells me everything. I was all she had." Tim said.
"Skye's friends said they saw her leaving with someone at the club last night." I stated.
"That's not like her at all. She is always so responsible. I knew something was wrong when I found her room empty this morning." Mr. Willards replied.
"We are going to find who did this to your daughter." Danny said.
Mr. Willards nodded his head as we made our exit.
Back at HQ Kono had gotten some more information for us. Chin was talking to one of the friends named Amanda Skylar.
"Max ran a rape kit and found some semen he said it was all consensual. We are running the sample he found. I have Charlie running her phone records and checking her email right now." Kono ran through.
"Good job. When Chin gets in tell him what you found out. Hopefully we can get a name on this guy Skye left with." I said before heading to my office.
After about an hour Charlie got a hit on the semen found. The suspects name was Jared
Ross. A 26 year old teacher with no criminal record.
After questioning him and checking out his alibi we came up empty. Jared said he had hooked up with Skye but she had taken off after they were finished after receiving a frantic phone call from her friend Amanda.
Amanda sat in the integration room. Her demeanor was on edge as she kept her eyes from meting mine or Chin's.
"Come on Amanda. You have already lied once to me today. Tell us the truth." Chin encouraged.
"I told you everything" she trembled.
"But you left out the part where lured your friend back to the club and shot her in cold blood." I replied.
"I didn't kill her. I would never hurt her she was my best friend." Amanda replied.
"Must have been hard to be left out of the spot light. Skye always getting the guys you want." Chin started.
"I don't know what you are talking about" her voice starting to rise.
"Your friend Katie said that you were always in competition with Skye. Always had to try and beat her but in the end you still didn't get what you want anyways." I added.
"You don't know what it's like. She was prettier than me and everyone liked to talk to her." Amanda bit back.
"So you just went and killed the competition. That's a little messed up." I commented.
"Why did you kill her Amanda?" Chin asked.
"Why did you shot your best friends three times?" I demanded.
"I was pissed off at her. I had my eye on Jared and then she just leaves with him like no big deal. She is not the perfect girl like everyone thinks she is. She is nothing but a slut." Amanda yelled.
"The sad part about this whole thing is that Skye loved you like family and so did her father. And now you have taken away his daughter. I hope you can live with that." I said before leaving the room.
After closing the case Danny and I headed back to the hospital to check on Mr. Willard.
He was awake when we arrived.
"Did you find my little girl's killer?" he asked.
"We did, sir. It was her friend Amanda." I answered.
"Thank you. Any of you got kids?" Tim replied.
"Yes sir, a boy and girl and another one on the way." I stated.
"I got a little girl too" Danny added in.
"You two take care of those kids you got. Watch them grow up because in life you never know what's going to happen." Tim said.
"We will." Danny answered.
Saying our last goodbyes we left and headed back to my house. Danny left right away with Grace. As I sat and watched TV with my family I replayed Timothy Willards words in my head. He was right we never knew what was going to happen.
(Third Person POV)
Unknown to the McGarrett family a woman with blonde hair and green eyes was sitting in her rental car watching the family. Plotting her to move on what was hers.
